Locations vary.

Celebrate the month of St. Patrick's with some magic in the Parks!
 

A new fairy door will appear every week of March on Monday in our local parks! We’ll post a picture of the new door and its location on Instagram & Facebook. When you visit the fairy's doors, don't forget to sign their teeny guest books!

PLUS, artists of Stroudsburg are creating Wee Fairy Houses to view and purchase at Pocono Arts Council, 530 Main Street. The exhibit will kick off on March 18th with an event including live music! Fairy Doors will continue to be on display through March 31st. A portion of proceeds from Fairy House purchases go back to your local Parks!

Eastern Monroe Public Library and Stroud Recreation want you to be able to enjoy the outdoors AND a great children's book at the same time! Our storybook trail is a fifteen-minute walk along Zacharias Pond Park's woodland trail. The trail starts north of the parking lot, past the pavilion.

A 4.5 Mile Run, or 2.6 Mile Fitness Walk along the Levee Loop Trail. Raise funds for Stroud Greenways while enjoying one of our favorite greenways! Participants get a commemorative t-shirt. Rain or shine.

*$5 off if you register before May 20! T-shirts are not guaranteed if you register after May 20.
 

The Levee Loop Trail Run is mostly even ground, but does have uneven terrain between Creekview Park and Stokes Mill Park. We recommend walking this stretch of the trail to see the more difficult terrain. Walkers will be on even gravel or grass paths.

Our interpretive walks provide company, conversation, and nature knowledge. Relax, get some fresh air, and enjoy the views of the season!
